TEST OF INTELLIGENCE





We read about test of Multiple Intelligence,

This simple grid diagram illustrates Howard Gardner's model of the seven Multiple Intelligences at a glance.

intelligence type capability and perception
Linguistic words and language
Logical-Mathematical logic and numbers
Musical music, sound, rhythm
Bodily-Kinesthetic body movement control
Spatial-Visual images and space
Interpersonal other people's feelings
Intrapersonal self-awareness


Gardner said that multiple intelligences were not limited to the original seven, and he has since considered the existence and definitions of other possible intelligences in his later work. Despite this, Gardner seems to have stopped short of adding to the seven (some might argue, with the exception of Naturalist Intelligence) with any clearly and fully detailed additional intelligence definitions. This is not because there are no more intelligences - it is because of the difficulty of adequately and satisfactorily defining them, since the additional intelligences are rather more complex than those already evidenced and defined.


Respectfullness-Yes
Order-Yes
Cleaness-Yes
Colaboration-Yes
Cooperation-Yes

MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES

The theory of multiple intelligences was developed in 1983 by Dr. Howard Gardner, professor of education at Harvard University. It suggests that the traditional notion of intelligence, based on I.Q. testing, is far too limited. Instead, Dr. Gardner proposes eight different intelligences to account for a broader range of human potential in children and adults. These intelligences are:

Linguistic intelligence ("word smart"):
Logical-mathematical intelligence ("number/reasoning smart")
Spatial intelligence ("picture smart")
Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence ("body smart")
Musical intelligence ("music smart")
Interpersonal intelligence ("people smart")
Intrapersonal intelligence ("self smart")
Naturalist intelligence ("nature smart")


Respectfullness-Yes
Order-Yes
Cleaness-Yes
Colaboration-Yes
Cooperation-Yes

JENNY´S CLASS

That day at Jenny´s Class we made an activity about a conversation between a costumer and an hotelier.
We work in pairs and use copies and practice the conversation.

COMMUNICATIVE ACTIVITIES

In this class we work in teams with some worksheet the teacher gave us about comunicative skill
where we make the next activity, that was; consider the definition above and pick wich items on the following list are communicative activities.

* Communicative activities.
* Giving a prepared speech.
* Acting out a scripted conversation.
* Improvising a conversation so that includes lots of example of

COMMUNICATIVE CLASS

In this class I lerned about the communicative class, I can learn some activities for example role-playing, I think this technique is very interesting becuase, with this activity the students are more attentive and they work with your parners and they correct their problems of pronunciation.

the copies are very important for the class, they have a good example and the taks and comentary are very interesting.

Respectfulness: yes
Order: yes
Cleanness: yes
Collaboration: yes
Cooperation: yes

TEACHER SKILLS

We need to mention the features that must have a teacher, because every day our society demands the formation of teachers capable of effectively solving the problems of professional practice and achieving ethical and responsible professional performance.

Teachers should be able to adapt to continuous changes in the competitiveness of the way they teach. Today we say that a teacher should be competent in the teaching-learning process but to understand spoken is necessary to define the meaning of being responsible on our role as teachers and competencies that should have in our daily work.

Some authors define competition as the “Set a person's characteristics that are associated with good performance in a particular task or job” Others define it as "the Body of knowledge, skills, dispositions and behaviors that a person possesses that enable the successful completion of an activity." It is noteworthy that the teacher's ability is the determining factor in student success, so is necessary to define the characteristics that should have and develop those responsible for education to the challenges we face today.


As teachers we must, within reach of our students the elements needed to construct their knowledge themselves and participate actively in their learning process. Knowledge is dynamic now, and this forces us to develop skills in students and to relate what they know and what they can learn, what they should and should not do to acquire knowledge.
